    Well, it happened today.  On a whim I called Job B to see if the position got filled.  Come to find out, I actually am the candidate that  they want for the position ☺ So they gave me the lowdown on the position and, well, it’s really damn good. So tomorrow I go into [...]

Happy Birthday To Me…..And The Year in Review

Posted: 26th March 2008 by Garaxiel in General

Well another year has passed in this life. And the infamous question of “how does it feel to be a year older?” is quite the topic. Well, I can say it feels damn good. On the bad side, I did not get into shape like I wanted. But I do have aspirations to fix that. [...]

Post Easter Wrap-Up

Posted: 24th March 2008 by Garaxiel in General

Wow.  What a weekend of crazy!  It was good to see family and share in the traditions of Easter (read whiskey shot before breakfast along with traditional Ukrainian food) so that was nice.  It was rather amazing though, I noticed one thing.  Over the years since most of my cousins live out of state they [...]

Anyone catch the license plate number of that truck…..

Posted: 20th March 2008 by Garaxiel in General

Ugh. I feel like crap. In fact feeling like crap might be an upgrade to how I feel. It’s amazing how much our bodies to stave off on a daily basis but it just seems like at some point the body says “fuck off dude” and you get sick as a dog. Needless to say [...]

Possibilites and Trials

Posted: 6th March 2008 by Garaxiel in General, Philosophy

    Ever wonder why life likes to throw you fancy curveballs? I do.  I think it’s to keep the wit sharp. With consistency comes sloth like mental capabilities.  People don’t like change in general. I personally like to see change happen.  It is good to see things in a new light and to see how [...]
